Highlights

Pyramids of Giza - Discover the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids, featuring the renowned structures of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. Delve into the historical essence of the Valley Temple, where priests once mummified King Chephren, the ruler linked to the second pyramid on the Giza Plateau. This revered site also allows you to see the Sphinx up close—a mysterious guardian with a lion’s body and King Chephren’s head—standing majestically by the expansive funeral complex.
Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - Khufu’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, now located beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman. While diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been found, the site remains unexcavated.
Khafre’s Pyramid - Khafre’s pyramid complex features a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. Many statues of Khafre were found in the valley temple, with several discovered in a well on the temple floor by Mariette in 1860.
Menkaure Pyramid - Menkaure’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, causeway, mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple, originally filled with numerous statues of Menkaure, saw the addition of a smaller ante-temple during the 5th Dynasty. The mortuary temple also revealed several statues of Menkaure.
Great Sphinx - The Sphinx dates back to the time of King Khafre. During the New Kingdom, Amenhotep II built a new temple dedicated to Hauron-Haremakhet, which was expanded by later rulers.
Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Located 27 km southwest of Cairo, Sakkara invites you to explore the Step Pyramid, built for King Zoser. This pyramid is crucial in the development of pyramids, marking the shift from the early simple mastaba to its famous and iconic form.
Mit Rahina Museum - Memphis City, the ancient capital of Egypt, houses the colossal statue of Ramses II and the grand Alabaster Sphinx. This city dates back to 3100 B.C.
